Here is Sidhu style predictions/ review of upcoming tournaments and teams performances
*****: Best
****: Good
***: Capable
*: Maybe
Australia: The Apex predators of cricket world—they know they can win—and they will prove their true quality in ICC and World cup…they are by far the best team
Their bowling is Lethal and batting Ruthless—perfectly balanced side!
They have only two demons to be scared of… Cris Crains & Shoaib Akhter!
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *****
Chances of winning WC: ****
England: They are shaping up into a good competitive side—Hussain is a smart captain—their batting is solid–Vaughan, Trescothick, Flintoff, Hoggard—all good players plus their grand dad Alex stewart, Bowling is bit weak
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *
Chances of winning WC: ***
India: I will give an unbiased opinion—their confidence level is high..they have one of the best batting line up..and the Small man Sachin w/ big badge!!—Sachin Tendulkar is still capable of doing autopsy of any bowling lineup!! also Dravid is in great touch
Fast bowling is the biggest flaw in indian team—1st 15 overs are crucial in every match—and openers like Gilchrist and Hayden (Dr. Haniball Lector) will slaughter Indian opening attack!!
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *** (though I won’t put my money on them)
Chances of winning WC: *
New Zealand: New Zealand w/o Cris Crains is like India w/o Sachin—Cris Crains and Shane Bonds are two guys in the team-- on which NZ can built their hope of winning the WC or ICC trophy…overall NZ is a mediocre side
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *
Chances of winning WC: ^
Pakistan: They are the Great White sharks of cricket world—solitary hunters!! Don’t like to work in team—but highly dangerous!!
Take my Words..Pakistan will be a totally different side in ICC trophy and World cup—They will rock the world!!
Esp Shoaib Akhter—he is Buffy the Aussie slayer!! He will prove his worth.
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *****
Chances of winning WC: ****
Sri Lanka: They make up for their lack of talent w/ hardwork…Murli is the Sacred Parrot in which Srilanka hopes are alive—there is a high probability that either Pakistan (in ICC) and Aussie in WC will twist their Parrot (totta) neck!
Chances of winning ICC trophy: ***
Chances of winning WC: *
South Africa: They are not the same highly charged side they use to be…Good thing isAllan Donald is back..but great Zulu is still missing his magic touch..They have great chance of winning ICC trophy..but World cup might prove to be the Holy grill for SA
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *****
Chances of winning WC: ***
Zimbabwe: They are bits N pieces sort of side…they sorely miss their best players- Neal Johnson and Goodwin…Flower is a good batsman.. Zimbabwe does have a habit of spoiling other parties
Chances of winning ICC trophy: ^
Chances of winning WC: ^
Pakistan: They are the Great White sharks of cricket world—solitary hunters!! Don’t like to work in team—but highly dangerous!!
Take my Words..Pakistan will be a totally different side in ICC trophy and World cup—They will rock the world!!
Esp Shoaib Akhter—he is Buffy the Aussie slayer!! He will prove his worth.
Chances of winning ICC trophy: *****
Chances of winning WC: ****

Trust me AQ....never underestimate Pakistan....they are more unpredictable than Indian Agni/Pirthivi missles.. No one can say for sure --- will they fire or pop up on their launch pad!!

yes... I agree that they are unpredictable. But so are AUS and SRILANKANS or INDIAN.one doesnt make prediction based on unredictability.Its based on current forms.
Anyway I dont wana divert topic..I wana see UAMIR bhai's link on Sidhus' comment on India's chances in ICC trophy.
AQ bhai I don’t want to get into argument about Chinese or Obselete indian/russian technology— it is not related to this forum… Indian missles name were used in metaphoric sense..you don’t need to jump from you seat to defend your country…

First of All - You need to get the name right, it is Asif_k and not AQ. I hope next time you will use the correct name.

Neither do I want to get into arguing about 3rd grade STOLEN North Korean technology or fused Chinese Bombs. And you too dont need to take it seriously, even my use of China was in similar context.

No, I am not Jumping - It is your forte a la Javed Miandad.
